Hey folks!

I read that many of the PR card photos are getting rejected after CoPR and CIC asks you to resubmit. This delays receiving your card for 2-3 months at least.

My photographer says the photos he took is according to the spec but I'm doubtful:
  • "from chin to crown of head (natural top of head)" -- what exactly is this? Crown is where the hair starts, or where the hair ends, or what?
  • "... with face and shoulders centred and squared to the camera" -- Does this mean my face should be in the center of the photo both horizontally AND vertically?
I'm going to do soft-landing and I really don't want to go through the hassle of resubmitting my photo 2-3 months down the road.

Thanks
